Crew members of Rak Afrikana, which sank shortly after it was released by Somali Pirates, sit in a hotel at the Kenyan port city of Mombasa March 13, 2011. The crew members were saved by EU NAVFOR Naval Ships that transferred them to MV York, which had also been released by the pirates. Rak Africana and MV York were both detained for more than six months after being captured en route to Zanzibar and Seychelles respectively. [Photo/Agencies]
